Seriously unimpressed. During our property search Douglas Allen have been by far the worst estate agent which we have had to deal with. They continuously contacted us about unsuitable properties. At times I have received up to 8 texts a day about properties which in no way matched the criteria given, and was also left voicemails, which were usually addressed to my husband, despite me telling them on a number of occasions that they were calling my phone!
When I called to speak to them about properties of interest, I often found them patronising and rude. It is interesting to see that the good reviews on here are generally from vendors, whilst the poor ones are from prospective buyers. I have no doubt that they'd sell your home for you fine, but try dealing with them as a buyer! I was made to feel that my budget (almost £400k) was laughable, and found that they only take you seriously as a buyer if you show interest in using their nominated solicitors and mortgage advisers, who also seem to get poor reviews.
Thankfully we have now bought a property through another agent, so hopefully we won't ever have to deal with these people again!
